Note that it uses 23,200 linear feet of street and leaves only <br /> 1. 6 acres open for park area. Contrast this with the <br /> subdivision pictured directly beside it. Both subdivisions <br /> are equal in size and terrain; however, by minimally <br /> reducing lot sizes and clustering them around limited- <br /> access, cul-de-sac streets, the number of housing units <br /> remains nearly the same-366; with less street areas-17, 000 <br /> linear feet; and drastically increased open space-23.5 <br /> acres. In addition, using modern building designs, this <br /> clustered plan could be modified to accommodate 550 patio <br /> homes or 1, 100 townhouses comfortably. <br />
